Pachuca has been proclaimed Liga MX champion six times, winning the title for the last time in the Clausura 2016. The previous season, the ‘Tuzos’ were close to consecration, but lost the definition against Atlas (3-2 in the global). Coach Guillermo Almada seeks his revenge and, as the favorite, prepares the appropriate strategy for his players to reach the crown in the company of their fans.
On his side, Toluca has 10 Mexican championship trophies in his showcase, although he hasn’t added a star for more than a decade (Clausura 2010). The club came close in Clausura 2018, when they fell in the final against Santos Laguna (on aggregate 3-2). During the current campaign, the ‘Red Devils’ were not considered candidates, after their poor closing; however, the squad has surprised: they eliminated América and Santos Laguna, considered the strongest squads in this tournament.

WHAT HAPPENS IN CASE OF A TIE IN THE MX LIGA FINAL?
In the event of a tie on aggregate in Pachuca vs. Toluca (same number of goals in wins for each team), there will be extra time of 30 minutes, divided into two; and if parity persists, the champion will be decided on penalties. Let’s remember that away goals and position in the general table are not worth it. In that sense:
– Pachuca will be champion with another win, a draw or loss by three goals or less.
– Toluca will only be champion winning by five goals of advantage. Repeating the first leg difference will lead to extra time and possibly penalties.
